So are you going to have Boeing disconnect the auothrottles on them as well?As far as the 737, that is true about deliveries ending around 2014. We have been told by mgmt that we will be converting to the narrow-body version of the 787.
The real title to this thread should be:
The Bad News is You May Not Upgrade at SWA for Ten Years, But the Good News is You Will Make More in Ten Years Than Most Other Airlines' Captains
We'll see. That's the way USair used to be. Look at that place now. Ten years ago Southwest was the lowest paid airline in the industry. SWA has pretty good management, but that can change in the 30+ years that most newhires have left in their careers. Any airline job is a gamble. SWA is not exempt from that rule. The sad thing is that Southwest's payscale only increased to cover inflation so the same scale that used to be a joke is now everyone's dream. It just shows you how far back this job (ex-profession) has fallen.
people here are saying 10-12 yrs right now. However i think the guys that got the shaft are the ones who were getting ready to upgrade now, those are the ones that will have to wait a while. If you are hired now there is just no way to tell. (having said all that I believe the next bid for june has 33 upgrade slots available)
That's what I have been hearing too. Although you need to also factor in the upcoming Age 70 rule change that senior SWA pilots will be championing as well... If that happens expect a 20 year upgrade...
I guess 200/hr for a 737 is just to cover inflation riiiiiiiiight!
